Hi Folks, I'm still running RHL9 here, but since it EOLed on Friday I need to consider what to move to. One reason I didn't upgrade to FC1 was the reported problems with FireWire/IEEE1394/SBP2 (I believe that FC1 shipped without FireWire enabled, and in order to use it you had to roll your own modules, but I may be misremembering). I see from Fedora News Updates #10 (http://www.fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue10.shtml) under "Fedora Core 2 test2 notes" that: "ieee1394 (Firewire) is not available in current kernels, and till its re-enabled, making the modules by yourself might be required (reference: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-March/msg02482.html). If it's causing you grief, remove its reference in /etc/modprobe.conf and rebuild your image (reference: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-April/msg00111.html)." Is this still the case in FC2t3? Is it likely to also be the case for the final release of FC3? I really need FireWire working here, and having to roll my own modules every time an errata kernel is released sounds like a PITA. Naturally, this may well be a non-Fedora-specific issue, and so I may have this problem with whatever 2.6 based distro I choose to upgrade to, but I would like to know whether FireWire is going to be supported in FC2 or not.
